A man attacks Class 10 students inside a school in Raptadu, Anantapur district, using a chainsaw, injuring two girls. Police later apprehend the suspect and begin investigating the circumstances and motive. Coverage highlights the panic among students and staff as the assault unfolds on school premises.

Several outlets describe the incident as happening inside a Zilla Parishad high school classroom during the students’ attendance. One report says the primary victim is Gopika and that another student, Lakshmi, is also hurt while attempting to intervene. Another outlet adds that the attack targets a girl’s throat, while also noting authorities are piecing together the timeline. Times of India and Free Press Journal both frame the alleged motive around a rejected marriage proposal.

While all accounts focus on the attack and police response, the details emphasized vary—particularly the severity and specific injury descriptions, as well as the reported motive. All outlets say an investigation is underway to determine what led to the violence and to confirm the full sequence of events.
